I used mine almost exclusively for repairing things that are either impossible to get (parts for an old blender, or window blinds that are otherwise in fine condition.
I also use it to print templates for fabrication, which saves the production of steel since I’m often able to make something once instead of throwing away much more energy intensive prototypes in the design process.
That said, my printer lives in a shop workspace, and has an enclosure, though not a filtered one (yet).
Sounds like old tech with high tech control.
This is very similar to why Honda Accord engines from 20 years ago can be tuned and turboed to make 5 times the power they did when new. Control and feedback sensing is super important, and computers are finally cheap and powerful enough (when built reliably and redundantly) to do it.
